[ Trust the Professor to be able to read his mind right off the bat. He almost feel sheepish for even attempting to look presentable, to answer something else akin to what he's actually thinking. Time and again, the Professor knows what they're feeling, what they're thinking, and while honesty is paramount whenever he speaks to him, he's out of his game here, in this bizarre dystopian world they found themselves in.
Scott takes note of everything Charles just said. Arrived here two nights ago? Check. Seeing him in Logan's mind? That's... something he's going to put a pin on for now because he doesn't know what to feel about that, or even how to process it. Does this mean the Professor and Logan knew each other years ago? Not that surprising given Logan's age, but the Professor doesn't seem to know him prior to his arrival. He's going to stow away this train of thought for now in preference to actually answering the Professor's question.
Only because it's a loaded one. He looks banged up. If one looks closely, he has scratches on his face, on his neck, from the impact of his arrival. He's honestly lucky his glasses didn't break or that's a whole other problem he has to deal with on top of everything here. He has cuts and bruises on his left torso, though, and while Scott was good at bandaging himself up, it'll take someone very perceptive to see behind how he's not wincing whenever he moves. ]
I'm fine, Professor. [ A beat, before he adds, ] As fine as one can be in this place, at least. [ And that's probably the most honest answer he can give without giving too much away. ]
How about you? You're not injured, are you? Where are you staying? [ It's also a jarring how they're in the middle of a mission to retrieve and save the Professor back home and he's here looking quite young. ]
